tact.-he i wis seated on the platform
but did no,t.' speak' for Democracy, al
though 'g. F. Affonso, a veteran Re

and practically denounced the Re
publican organization.
Another; report was that the Plant
ers' Association had received a pri
vate cablegram to the effect that
Roosevelt's election is certain. This
report aroused much interest and
was heralded with joy by Republi
cans who have been fearing Wilson's
election. Several cablegrams were
undoubtedly received by local busi

Polls were established at Wilder

and party workers reported that the
voters had already made up their

could not be changed.
Fifth Precinct, Fourth District.
Thomas Square, the polling place,
was quiet all day. At 10:45 o'clock
120 out of 332 registered votes had
been cast. The Republican precinct
club set up a marque in a couple of
hundred feet from the polling place
and dispensed soft drinks and kind
words to all alike, not drawing the line
at Democrats. In fact, such a lead

BIG SCOTTISH SCHEME
OF POULTRY KEEPING.
The 8cottlsh Board 'of Agriculture,
which was created recently by the
Government, has lost no time in for
mulating a scheme for the benefit of
the rural population. The breeding
of cattle, horses, and sheep is already,
of course, a feature of Scottish agri
culture," and the officials of the-new
board, though fully aware of the im
portance of this, are evidently first
concentrating their attention on that
smaller stock from which the cottag
er or small holder partly or . wholly
makes his living. The board's scheme
for the encouragement and. develop
ment of poultry keeping is on a large
scale. It. provides for the establish
ment of poultry stations throughout
the country, from which the distribu
tion of eggs of pure breeds of fowls
may be made, and also for a liberal
extension of poultry instruction,., in
which the three agricultural colleges
at Glasgow, Edinburg and Aberdeen
are being asked to xperate. A con
siderable number of additional instruc
tors and instructress will have to be
appointed, and the board is at pres
ent in negotiation with the agricultu
ral colleges. The candidates, it is
laid down, must be thoroughly prac
tical. It is the board's serious inten
tion to place the poultry industry on
sound lines and thus to contribute to
the solution of the problem of rural
depopulation.
